Sorry, eating in a pretentious dungeon to eat decent food that is ridiculously overpriced is pretty much the definition of overrated. People go there just to act like big shots. 

Don’t be sorry your entitled to your bad opinion.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Publix chicken tender subs.  

I can get those, and often do, at home.

Overpriced?  Not at all when you consider they throw in the salad, soup, potato and veggie.  Food is very good.  Charlies is excellent as well.  More of a wood taste to the Charlies stuff.  Bern's wine list is 2nd to none. Charlie's wine list has frustrated me 2 of the last 3 times. Asked for a bottle then waited 15 minutes to learn they don't have it.  I'm not a techie but I imagine it wouldn't be real hard to have your wine list on tablets with inventory updated on the fly. Either that or buy enough of what you have on the list.

Couldn’t agree more...most other steakhouses that serve prime beef you will pay $42 and up just for the steak. Also their wine list (book) is the best

Looks like I need to try Charlie’s...seems consensus is that they have great steaks.

Quick Berns story. Some wino friends from Michigan were in town so we went to Berns. Told him to pick the wines since he knew what he was doing (he was into French wines at the time).  Choose two, both 1989s, an Haut Brion and something like a Chateau Contessa de LeLande.  When the check came he picked it up but both bottles were in the $300 - $400 ranges.  I was about to poop my pants. But if any wines are worth that kind of money they were.

Good story...no better wine list for Bordeaux wine.

Both Bern's and Charleys are outstanding.

Took the wife to Berns a few months ago.  Two Chateaubriands with soup, sides, bottle of wine, and visit to the dessert room, we got out of there for around $200.  Throw in the restaurant/cellar tour and that's a pretty **** good bang for the buck for a special occasion - won't do better than that at Ruths Chris, Charley's, etc.  Food was excellent as always.

I think there is a lot of that in Seminole Heights.  JTrue would probably be able to give better all around advice.   Elle's is also good, so is the Refinery.  There are a few other places probably a little less eclectic.

Someone else mentioned Ulele's.  It is very good as well and located along the River Walk

Charley’s is hands down my favorite restaurant here... Berns, you’ll pay for the experience but the food is ok

Agree !
